Lift Us Lord Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

- LIFT US LORD-

Lift us Lord for We are sinking,
Crying, Lord, for Your reprieve
Asking, Lord, for Thy direction
Humble of heart we cannot deceive.

Angry forces are now assaulting
Leaving hearts now seeping blood
Waves of pain are flowing forward
Covering us.... a painful flood.

How can we now lift up our bodies
Wracked with pain, we cannot deny,
So we beseech Thee, Lord of Heaven,
As we search the Eastern sky.

Lift us Lord and make us stronger,
Stronger both of frame and mind
Help us Lord, this world, to reason
Help us now things to define.

Change our thoughts to things so righteous
Guide us to Your nurturing side
Lift us Lord in Your direction
That We no longer have to hide.

Write Thy message far within us
Upon these pages within our heart
Erase these doubts that we might harbor
Within us now, Thy love impart.

Guide us swiftly from the horror
That this World does now embrace
Erase the doubts, dispair, and sorrow
Enfold us in Thy loving Grace.

For still, Dear Lord, we are only children
Only children, in a World of shame
Listening, Lord, on knees so humbled
Listening for when You will whisper our name.
